I’ve used metal lots in my mixed media work and alcohol inks work best for colouring any metallic surface including the adhesive metal tape and dries instantly. Hope this helps? xJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567000555805454692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-32520262776857548952017-07-16T22:58:15.629+01:002017-07-16T22:58:15.629+01:00ps - just had a thought....wonder if the paint sti...ps - just had a thought....wonder if the paint sticking issue could be solved with a quick swipe of vinegar & water prior to painting (let dry before applying paint). That came from a distant memory of doing that to 'clean' things before painting them when I was doing folk art.

Now I'm wondering if it could be 'rusted' (as I currently have fabric and some steel wool/vinegar/salt percolating hoping for a rusty effect for a barn roof). btw - comments will be 'in bunches' again and I'm behind, mainly because I always save your posts until I have time to sit and really absorb them.

Otherwise alcohol inks will work wonderfully. I love homegrown materials, super results.Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888309706331542704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7304535898968644093.post-43172474565209888442017-07-10T15:57:26.472+01:002017-07-10T15:57:26.472+01:00Lovely colours, as always.
